Easter

haha sadly due to the fact that they don't really celebrate easter here in korea i almost forgot that yesterday was easter until one of the members reminded me :) haha so me and my companion spent some time today during companionship study singing all the easter songs in the hymn book....there is only three, but it was still fun! haha. But this week we were so blessed to get to meet several new investigators. Some super cool new ones that i am definitely looking forward to getting to spend more time with. But the biggest miracle of this week was probably when one of our investigators called us and said he had finished reading the scripture assignment we had given him (2Nephi31) and that he wanted to meet that night. We met him at the church, and he actually brought a friend with him that he referred to us and said that he had read the scripture and that he knew he needed to get baptized. So we were able to set some goals with him and help him to prepare to take that step. It was just soooooo cool to see how powerful the book of mormon is in conversion. It is truely the keystone of our religion and man truly can get closer to God by abiding by its precepts than by any other book.

As always things are going well :) today is my companions birthday! happy birthday 박인오! haha and we are working just as crazy as ever. Family you remember the 21 day program you guys were doing with the missionaries there and how well it was going? Well i took the liberty of adjusting it a bit and translating it into korean and we are now doing it here with our members and they are loving it! :) keep them in your prayers as they look for people to share the gospel with! Anywas some thing i have really learned recently is the importance of managing time :) This is the lord's work, and this is his time, so i need to spend it his way and as effective as possible :) i have been blessed this past few weeks to learn some super great principles of leadership and balancing time. I think it is so interesting how much of a factor time is in everything. Appointment times, time based goals, lunch and dinner times (haha) etc.... but if one truly masters how to dicipline themselves and use their time to only do great things, and not merely just good things...they can truly accomplish so much more :) anyways this week as you all go out thing about how you are spending your time. Is the way youre spending your time the way Jesus Christ would have spent his time in your situation? :) anyways i love you all and am praying for you every day! :) I hope you all see tons of miracles and have tons of opportunities to share your testimonies with everyone! :) HAve a great week!
